It varies, I have both that I can use same as you, although I'm now drooling over the Dell XPS13 with the sixth gen Interl processors, so might be making a move toward laptop for work and desktop for gaming life.

I can't really do much work on a laptop. I work on my desktop computer - more power, more screens, easier to move around with mouse, better keyboard... I use my macbook only when I really don't wanna sit down or I can't access my computer to work. Other than that, constantly on my desktop computer.

If I don't want to work in my cubicle, I take it down to the basement. If the basement gets overcrowded with the lunch crown, I say eff it and go home. I can work from my couch, the balcony, even take calls from the car when I need to.

using a Macbook Air 13" Works like a charm and i can take it anywhere. Sometimes i connect an external monitor to it, but usually its the single screen. This is coming from a guy who used to run a 3 monitor setup on a windows PC

There is not a perfect setup, everyone is different. my partner uses desktop 95% of his working time, while i use laptop 80% of the time. we both have laptop and desktop, and nowadays you can balance working for both as far as you keep all the files in some cloud. it´s easier tho to stick to just one of them, so if i have to decide which one, i will go for laptop anyday.

the fact of moving around, meeeting people, working from a coffee shop somedays, is just priceless. if you leave in a cold area or spend more than 90% of your work time at home, defo go for a desktop, cheaper and better specs machines.

I use both for work and play, though the ones for work are exclusively built for work only. I spent the money and built the desktops myself from the discounts I get through my clientele, and I bought the laptops already built. I prefer a tablet or phablet if I need visual presentations, engagements or just need to write down quick notes and such during meetings or while on trips. I prefer things that are updated, with features that I use heavily and that actually help me sell my presentations.

What works for me won't work for you because I'm me and you are you. Go with what you feel is the most useful and productive for you to use, not what the discounted price tag says unless you absolutely can't afford to buy a top tier performance machine. I'd wait and save up for something you don't need to upgrade for at least 5 years.
